I took this photo the week of January 12. I don’t remember when exactly now.

The moon always looks stunning to me, no matter the stage it’s in.

And here’s a close up of this half moon.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Lighthouse Shadow

November 29, 2008 | Filed Under Lighthouses, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Shadow Shot Sunday, Shadows, The Bronx | 28 Comments

The shadow of a lighthouse cast against the wall of another building. This lighthouse is located on top of a business building in the Bronx. It’s not open to visitors. Below is a photo of the lighthouse taken on a different day.

Happy Shadow Shot Sunday!

Ed. Note: Someone asked whether there’s water nearby. Yes, the building is near the Harlem River. Another reader asked if the lighthouse works. The answer is it does now. The lighthouse is about 100 years old and for many years, it did not work. In the late 90s, the lighthouse was fixed to commemorate it’s centennial anniversary. I’ve passed by it in a car, at night, when it’s lit up. It’s a nice sight — nice and bright.
